Im driving a 2006 Limited Rav4 and during this time there has been countless of coffee run off from the cup that is in the cup holder in to the housing of the transmission selector lever. Those Tim lids are never on tight enough.

The plastic that is prevents large objects from falling in to that area is all sticky and it may be damaged from forced shifting even though it was stuck.

I was wondering if there is anyway that i can fix this by removing the housing and cleaning it or will i have to bring it in to dealer.
